With the exception of American policies toward Africa I tend to keep my Americanist punditry separate from my African commentary on this blog. Nonetheless, since it seems apt, can I just remind those conservatives who have latched onto President Obama’s supposed “Kenyan Anti-Colonialism” that the Kenyan Anti-Colonialists were right? That they were the good guys? That they were the ones who most fully represented the freedom that conservatives so often venerate while being very selective about what they mean by “freedom”?
I sometimes wonder if their ignorance is real or willful, though I suspect that making the distinction would not be worth the effort.
